A recreation of a dish we used to eat at "Liberty Street Brewing" in Akron (down in the valley) -- the wonderfully smoked ingredients and peppery bite of the arugula match well together over the pasta -- now if we could just get their fantastic micro-brewed beer again...

The addition of the potatoes made for a good spin on the traditional slow-cooked tomato/okra combo...

3. Links to recipes are shown when available, if there's no link, we'll try to cite the book/magazine issue from where it came. If there's no recipe cited, it usually means we made it up... and if there's nothing at all, enjoy the pretty pictures. ;)

4. We don't like ersatz food (i.e. tofu molded into the shape of a turkey for Thanksgiving), but we're funny that way.

5. A brief personal history. We were vegetarian for 7 years, and have been vegan for the last 20 years.
